Jr. reminds me of a young Crawford before Larry Brown emphasized to him to stop shooting so many 3's and use his skill sets to attack the rim and get to the line more. Crawford is still mostly a perimeter player but he definitely since then made a much more conservative effort that year and moving on to attack the rim more

When Prigs on the floor we out scored the Blazers but with Fat Ray on the floor we were slaughtered. Not a more inept coach in all of the NBA right now than Fraudson, first half with Prigs in the game the Knicks up by 8 points, take out Prigs for Fat Ray and end the half down by 3. Second half down by 16 points take out Fat Ray for Prigs and cut lead to 6 points Last 6 minutes out goes Prigs in comes Fat Ray and we lose by 15.

Could be wrong but off the top of my head Knicks were +18 with Prigs on the floor and in the minus high 20's with Fat Ray on the floor. That is just bewildering incompetence on the part of any head coach and his staff.

We had a 10-man rotation compared to Portlands inexperience young 8 man rotation .. we had a 10 point lead with 4 minutes left before halftime .. what changes did Portland make? NONE!
What changes did we make?
Our ball-movement and inside scoring stop (like a red STOP sign) once we passed the ball to dribble-holdball-dribble JR.smith.

In the first half we were 2-6 from the 3-ball line, the majority of our scoring were inside. Why did that stop?
In the 3rd qtr. we were 1-9 from the 3-ball line, and down by 10 points.
Lamarcus & Hickson did not defend the paint the entire game .. why did we stop the pick n roll to Camby, K-Mart, Copeland? Because Mr. JR.smith took our PG out of the game in the 2nd half, and at the end of the 2nd qtr..

There was no reason for JR.smith to get 36 minutes in a game where Portland had no answers for our 1st-unit lineup or our 2nd-unit lineup. Our 10-Man rotation were suppose to average 24 minutes of playingtime each in the same lineup at the end of a Back to Back game .. JR & Kidd were not suppose to be in both lineups in the 2nd half of the game...

You nailed it Kiya. Our coach and therefore the team actually went away form what we were doing to get us the first half lead. We were quite comfortable in building a lead and Portland had no answer for what we were doing inside with K-Mart and Camby leading the inside scoring.

Copeland started the first quarter by scoring well then he was benched half way through the first quarter. Maybe, I`m wrong, but I believe he didn`t play at all in the second quarter. As soon as JR got involved he started his ****ty dribble, dribble, standing still and shooting crap and we started to lose it. The coach actually moved us away from everything that we were doing well and moved us back to stupid JR iso ball. Pablo looked really good defending, passing, attacking the basket but again the coach wants Felton in there stinking the place up.

During the first quarter and a great deal of the second we had great shooting, why? Because we were attacking the paint. Guess what Woodson. Inside shots have a much better chance of being made because they are closer to the basket. Basic basketball that children learn. We had loads of assists and everyone was involved. Pablo feeding Camby for a lay up even. Why in the hell does Woodson put a stop to attacking the paint and the passing game. Stupid, so stupid. Every time that we play Woodson looks more and more like a fatter, blacker version of D`Antoni.
